Re: Quick search - search for filesize

Hi Roman,
thank you very much for investing your time looking into a solution for my unique request. You find me astonished and thrilled as I didn't see this coming. I followed your instructions to the letter, got it working after I found out it requires Autohotkey to be installed, too.
The script works good for small directories containing just a few dozen files, but there I don't need the script as I can find files manually faster. Unfortunately for folders containing 50+ files it starts to get quite slow. I'm working with more than 300.000 files worth more than 93 Gigabyte, which appears to be way too much to handle for this solution. Quicksearching this content for a filesize in branchview takes an eternity.
I haven't heard back from Christian regarding my request for adding filesize input to quicksearch. Judging by the lack of response I guess it's not happening. Once more, thank you very much for your perseverance and effort in this matter, it's very much appreciated! At least we have proof of concept that it can be done.
